if it is a normal audio application like skype or a game then you could 
consider using openAl or any other cross platform audio backend. since you 
mentioned midi i guess it is a high end audio application. in this case port 
it to use jack which handles audio/midi. you can then deploy your code to 
linux/mac/windows without many problems. if you do not want to use jack audio 
connection kit, have a look at [1]. but keep in mind: doing midi stuff 
usually requires good timings - choose: jack audio connection kit. see [2] 
for windows jack deployment, see [3] for linux and mac deployment and finally 
see [4] if you want to have a easy and basic jack midi client.
